What size brim is "stingy"?

[deelovely]

Yes, definitely a stingy brim. Far from "huge"! And it does work really well with the suit. Very nice look!:eusa_clap

You know what they say about men with "small brims."

"Man with small brim hat, very secure in himself."

Midnight Blue, What a great looking hat. Everything works together, the color, the curve of the brim, the center crease with no front pinch or side dents, the color, the suit... :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

I like your way with words, Fletch.

Well, I usually wear pants, too.

I have seen 60s era db suits worn successfully with stingy brims.
It is all in the attitude of the wearer.

Indeed, but many '60s DBs had narrow lapels like the single breasteds, didn't they? I try to coordinate lapel width with ties as well so everything looks balanced.

Yes, I believe they were generally narrower. The double breasted (regardless of width) can and was worn with a stingy brim. I am looking at a book of men's fashions from the turn of the century. There are db outfits worn with felt and straw hats of stingy proportions.

Midnight Blue...

...Daddy? Is that you?

That picture actually looks like the first words out of your mouth ought to be "FBI, Ma'am. We'd like to ask you a few questions about your boss, Mr. Tortellini."
